    Fun fact: The Gamestop you visited in Maine was my old store. I was there for six years and was originally hired as part of the grand opening crew. I had to transfer to a New Hampshire store about eight months ago (funny enough, I'm in the next town over from the NH store you visited!) and I've missed the old place a lot. Firstly, thanks for affording me a chance to see the place again. Glad to see that the new manager is keeping it in good shape. Secondly, I appreciate the kind words about it. There's a lot of me in that store and even though I don't run it anymore, I still take pride in its accomplishments.

    Having grown up in Eastern North Dakota, it's funny to hear how people explain driving through the Great Plains for the first time. There's something about the several hours of straight highway with no stops until you hit the next city because it's just farmland and small towns with one gas station and a bar as the only places to go to. The fact you can always see several miles ahead of you at all times unhindered is magical. Those drives will either make you go crazy or you'll genuinely enjoy every step of the way despite looking at basically nothing.

      I remember going to The Badlands in SD on a family trip. My parents thought the city (Rapid City or Sioux Falls?) was pretty close (pre-GPS when people used actual atlases and road signs) because they could actually see the lights. They were wrong.
      Being that far from civilization is oppressive to me, and I live in North Florida where the highways are surrounded by a billion pine trees on either side. I'm pretty sure I went to the Gamestop in FL where the uploader went.

We got our copy in New Hampshire, and we already were 4 states into the mission. Basically, each one has a stamp room, so you enter the state house, find that room, & stamp the page of the corresponding state. But if you missed a stamp, u can write to the company to send you a sticker version of it, which we did. I live in Rhode Island, and we’ve already covered all the states we can easily drive to, the farthest being Virginia(but not in 1 day!). Next, we’re gonna do Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.

    Man seeing that Toys R Us was like seeing a childhood friend you used to hang out a lot with only to find out he had a terrible downfall and is a shell of its formerself barely hanging on to any semblance of what they used to be. It's really sad. Also love how you added Los Pollos Hermanos to the state of New Mexico lol, and you found a Shiny Walmart, nice!

    HA! The green Walmarts are their “Neighborhood Market” variety. We have one in my hometown and honestly, it’s where we go if we don’t want the department store aspect of Walmart. Ours just does food and personal hygiene products. Green isn’t anything to worry about!
